                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
NetSchools Corporation


In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of
operations, shareholders' deficit and cash flows present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of NetSchools, Inc. at December 31, 2001 and
2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years
then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, all of the outstanding stock
of the Company was purchased by PLATO Learning, Inc. effective May 9, 2002.

1.     BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       BUSINESS
       NetSchools Corporation, (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of
       California in April 1996 to engage in the design, development, and
       marketing of computer software and hardware products for use in
       educational applications.

       All of the outstanding stock of the Company was purchased by PLATO
       Learning, Inc. effective May 9, 2002.


2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       USE OF ESTIMATES
       The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
       accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
       assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosures made in the
       financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ
       from those estimates. Such estimates include the useful lives and net
       realizable value of property and equipment and the valuation of accounts
       receivable, inventory and deferred income taxes.

       CASH EQUIVALENTS
       The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of
       three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

       INVENTORY
       Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined
       using the first-in first-out method.

       PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
       Property and equipment, including certain equipment acquired under
       capital leases, are stated at cost. Property and equipment are
       depreciated using the straight-line method over the assets' expected
       useful lives which range from one to five years. Assets acquired under
       capital leases are amortized over the term of the underlying lease.
       Amortization of leasehold improvements is recorded on a straight-line
       basis over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term
       of the lease. Such amounts are included in depreciation and amortization
       expense. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

       SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
       Research and development costs, which consist partially of software
       development costs, are expensed as incurred. Statement of Financial
       Accounting Standards No. 86 ("FAS 86") requires the capitalization of
       certain software development costs after technological feasibility of
       software is established. The time between the establishment of
       technological feasibility and the general release of the Company's
       products is limited. Accordingly, all such costs are included in research
       and development.

       INCOME TAXES
       The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability
       method as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
       109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS 109").

       Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined
       based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets
       and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws
       that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

       The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when
       it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the assets will not
       be realized.

       REVENUE RECOGNITION
       2001
       The Company uses AICPA Statement of Position No. 97-2, Software Revenue
       Recognition and related interpretations to account for its revenue
       transactions. During 2001, the Company changed the nature of its business
       from that of primarily delivering its software products and related
       services over local area networks (LANs) via hardware components that
       were of a proprietary design, to a delivery platform based on an
       application service provider (ASP) model. As such, the Company no longer
       required that its customers purchase all hardware components from the
       Company, and transitioned its software product to operate within an open
       technology architecture. During 2001, the Company sold hardware, software
       subscriptions, and professional services to its customers. When the
       Company has a signed agreement, delivery has occurred, and
       vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of the undelivered elements
       exists, the Company recognizes revenue when the hardware is shipped. If
       the delivered hardware is essential to the functionality of the
       undelivered elements, it is recognized ratably over the minimum period
       the customer is contractually obligated to subscribe to the software.
       When hardware revenues are deferred over the life of the arrangement, the
       costs of the hardware are deferred and recognized over the life of the
       arrangement as well. Those costs are included in deferred charges on the
       balance sheet. Software subscription fees are recognized ratably over the
       subscription period. Professional services fees not considered essential
       to the functionality of the solution ordered by the client are recognized
       when the services are complete otherwise they are recognized ratably over
       the software subscription period.


       2000
       Professional services revenue is recognized from fixed price contracts as
       services are provided for or by using the percentage-of-completion method
       of accounting, based on the ratio of costs incurred to the total
       estimated project cost, for individual fixed-price contracts. Provisions
       for any estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period
       in which such losses become evident.


                                       7

NETSCHOOLS CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


       The Company's subscription revenue from web-based services include site
       fees, hosting, royalties, and content sales. The revenues are determined
       by individual contracts, one to three years in length, which specify
       functionality of the site and the commerce conducted on the site. The
       subscription fees are recognized ratably over the life of the contract.
       Royalty revenue was recognized as earned. Content revenue is either
       recognized ratably over the life of the contract for course usage on
       bundled curriculum courses or recognized at the time of the purchase of
       individual courses. Revenues from tangible goods, including books,
       videotapes and CD-roms, are recognized at the time of shipment.

       CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
       Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
       concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash
       equivalents. The Company places its cash primarily in checking and money
       market accounts with high credit quality financial institutions.

       In addition to cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable is
       the only financial instrument, which potentially exposes the Company to
       concentrations of credit risk. As of December 31, 2001, 2 customers
       comprised 46% of the Company's accounts receivable balance. Additionally,
       for the year ended December 31, 2001, 58% of the Company's revenues were
       generated by 2 customers.

       The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to various
       types and sizes of educational institutes located throughout the country.
       As a result, the Company believes that concentration of credit risk with
       respect to trade accounts receivable is not significant.

       As of December 31, 2000, seven customers comprised 73% of the Company's
       accounts receivable balance. For the year ended December 31, 2000, 53% of
       the Company's revenues were generated by 3 customers.

       FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
       The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for the Company's
       financial instruments approximate fair values.

       COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
       Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting
       Comprehensive Income, requires the Company to present comprehensive
       income, which is net income plus all other changes in net assets from
       non-owner sources and its components in the financial statements. For the
       years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the only component of
       comprehensive income was net loss.

       ADVERTISING
       Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in sales and
       marketing expenses. Advertising expense was $406,000 and $131,000,
       respectively during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


       During 2001, the Company issued $4,805,000 convertible notes to holders
       of the Company's preferred stock. The notes are due March 1, 2002 and may
       convert to equity securities at 70% of the price of equity securities
       issued by the Company in a subsequent round of financing defined by the
       convertible note agreements. These notes were settled with consideration
       from the purchaser of the Company, which was effective May 9, 2002. In
       conjunction with the issuance of the convertible notes, the Company
       issued 2,187,371 warrants to purchase Series E-2 Preferred Stock to the
       note holders. Accordingly, the Company allocated the proceeds of the
       notes among the warrants and notes according to their relative fair
       values resulting in a discount on the notes of $975,000 to be amortized
       over the term of the notes.

       We amended in 2001 a financing agreement (the "Agreement") with a bank
       whereby the bank provides financing up to a maximum of $6 million or the
       lesser of (1) 85% of our eligible receivables and (2) the total unpaid
       loan principal balance of $2.5 million. The balance of the bank note
       payable was fixed at $3,266,000 at the date the agreement was amended.
       According to the terms of the amendment, the principal of the debt is to
       be repaid in monthly installments of $136,100 commencing on September 30,
       2001. Borrowings under this agreement are collateralized by substantially
       all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company. The unpaid
       balance of the debt accrues interest at the prime rate plus 3.5%. As of
       December 31, 2001, the total balance under this agreement was $2,752,000.

       In conjunction with the amendment of the agreement, the Company issued
       275,010 warrants to purchase Series E-2 preferred stock to the lender.
       According, the Company allocated the balance of the debt among the
       warrants and debt according to their relative fair values resulting in a
       discount on the debt of $239,000 to be amortized over the remaining 36
       month term of the debt.

       In conjunction with the Agreement, we issued 85,106 warrants during 2000
       to acquire shares of our Series E-1 Preferred Stock at an exercise price
       of $2.35 per share. Interest expense recorded to reflect the value of
       such warrants was $126,000 as determined using the Black-Scholes model.

       In 2000, we issued notes payable of $9,000,000 in conjunction with our
       Series E financing. In conjunction with such borrowings, we paid a

       The Series A, B, C, D and E preferred stock are collectively referred to
       as the "Senior Preferred Stock."

       CONVERSION
       Each share of Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D and Series E
       Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into one share
       of Common Stock based on a conversion price of $2.58, $3.41, $4.40, $4.40
       and $2.35, respectively. These conversion prices are subject to
       adjustment in certain circumstances including certain issuances of Common
       Stock at below the conversion prices. The issuance of the Series E-2
       Preferred Stock resulted in an adjustment to the conversion ratio for the
       Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D shareholders. Each share of
       Preferred Stock will automatically convert into Common Stock in the event
       of an underwritten public offering of our Common Stock with proceeds of
       at least $30,000,000.

       In addition, upon a qualified Initial Public Offering or organic change
       (as defined in the Agreement), the conversion price of Series E-2 shares
       of preferred stock shall be reduced (but not increased) to provide the
       holders an internal compounded rate of return of 15%.

       VOTING
       Senior Preferred Stock has voting rights, on an as-if converted basis,
       identical to Common Stock.

       DIVIDENDS
       In conjunction with the issuance of the Series E-2 Preferred Stock during
       2000, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to remove all
       dividend rights relative to the Series A, B, C and D Preferred
       Shareholders. Also, the holders of the Series C and D

       Preferred Stock waived all rights to dividends which had previously
       accrued on their respective instruments. Accordingly, the Company has
       reversed the amount previously recorded for "Accretion to Redemption
       Value" in the Statements of Changes in Shareholder' Deficit during 2000.

       LIQUIDATION
       In the event of liquidation, Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D,
       Series E and Series 1 Preferred Stockholders are entitled to receive
       $2.81, $4.44, $7.00, $6.35, $2.35 and $.0001818 per share, respectively.
       If assets and funds are insufficient to be distributed among all the
       holders of preferred stock, such assets and funds will first be
       distributed ratably among the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock
       until they have received their total relative aggregate Preferred Stock
       Liquidation Preference Amount, then ratably among the holders of the
       Series C and D Preferred Stock in proportion to their relative aggregate
       Preferred Stock Liquidation Amounts, then ratably among the holders of
       the Series A and B Preferred Stock in proportion to their relative
       aggregate Preferred Stock Liquidation Amount and then among the holders
       of Series 1 Preferred Stock.

       REDEMPTION
       Beginning June 30, 2005 and May 7, 2006, all outstanding shares of the
       Series C and Series D Preferred Stock, respectively, are eligible to be
       redeemed in full by the Company. In the event of redemption, each holder
       of the Series C and Series D Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive
       $7.00 and $6.35 per share, respectively.

       On or after June 1, 2005, the Company shall redeem the issued and
       outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock which the holders of the
       Series E Preferred Stock have elected to redeem. The redemption amount
       will be at a cash price equal to the fair market value, as determined by
       a disinterested nationally or regionally recognized investment banking
       firm. At the completion of an organic change, as defined, the holders of
       Series 1 Preferred Stock may redeem their shares for the amount of their
       original investment.

       WARRANTS
       In connection with the financing agreement (Note 5), we issued warrants
       to purchase 78,829 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at $4.44 per share
       and 60,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock at $6.35 per share. The
       Series B and D warrants are exercisable at any time prior to their
       expiration in 2002 and 2003, respectively. The fair value of the warrants
       have not been material to the financial statements. No warrants had been
       exercised as of December 31, 2001.

       In connection with the issuance of Series C and Series D Preferred Stock
       we issued warrants to purchase 708,464 and 1,214,298 shares of Series C
       and Series D Preferred Stock at $7.00 and $6.35 per share, respectively,
       which are exercisable at any time prior to their expiration in 2005 and
       2006, respectively. We determined the value of warrants to be $2,900,000
       by using the Black-Scholes model. No warrants had been exercised as of
       December 31, 2001.

       In connection with the issuance of the Series E-2 Preferred Stock, we
       issued warrants to purchase 1,335,106 shares of Series E-2 Preferred
       Stock at an exercise price equal to

8.     COMMON STOCK

       The Company is authorized to issue 275,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

       Certain Common Stock was issued to the founders of the Company pursuant
       to Stock Repurchase Agreements that provide that, in the event that
       either founder ceases to be an employee or consultant to the Company, the
       Company has the right to repurchase all or any portion of the shares held
       by the founder, subject to a two-year vesting period, at the original
       purchase price of $0.01 per share. Also in connection with issuance of
       the founders' shares, the founders contributed technical know-how which
       did not result in accounting recognition in the accompanying financial
       statements. At December 31, 2001, all such shares were fully vested.


9.     1996 STOCK OPTION PLAN

       In October 1996, the Board of Directors adopted the 1996 Stock Option
       Plan (the "Plan") providing for the issuance of incentive or nonstatutory
       Common Stock options to employees and consultants of the Company. At
       December 31, 2001, a total of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock were
       reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan.

       Options under the Plan may be granted for periods of up to ten years at
       prices at the date of grant of no less than the fair market value per
       share for incentive stock options and not less than 85% of the fair
       market value per share for nonstatutory stock options, except for options
       granted to a person owning greater than 10% of the total combined voting
       power of all classes of stock of the Company, for which the price of the
       option must be no less than 110% of the fair market value. The fair
       market value of our Common Stock is determined by the Board of Directors
       or a committee thereof. Options are exercisable at the date of grant and
       generally vest 25% at the end of the first year and at a rate of 1/48 per
       month thereafter. Shares issued as a result of unvested option exercises
       are subject to repurchase by the Company. As of December 31, 2001, no
       shares issued related to option exercises were subject to repurchase.

       The following table summarizes option activity under the Plan during 2000
       and 2001:

       The Company accounts for employee stock options in accordance with
       Accounting Principles Board Option 25, Accounting For Stock Issued to
       Employees and related interpretations. The estimated fair market value of
       an option is determined by the compensation committee and approved by the
       Board of Directors. The Company recognized no compensation expense
       relative to options granted in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

       The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provision of Financial
       Accounting Standards Board Statement 123 ("FAS 123"), Accounting for
       Stock-Based Compensation, which defines a fair value based method whereby
       compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair
       value of the award. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based
       compensation plan been determined on a fair value basis in accordance
       with the provisions of this statement, the Company's net loss for the
       years ended December 31, 2001, would have been as follows:



                            2001           2000

         Pro forma      (19,273,000)    (27,079,000)


       The amount of the pro forma charge has been determined using the minimum
       value method as permitted for private companies by FAS 123. For purposes
       of the calculation, management used the following assumptions:



                                       2001     2000

       The Company has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of our
       net deferred tax assets since management believes that realization of any
       future benefit from deductible temporary differences, net operating loss
       and tax credit carryforwards cannot be sufficiently assured at December
       31, 2001.

       At December 31, 2001, the Company had federal net operating loss
       carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards of approximately $76 million
       and $416,000, respectively, available to reduce future taxable income,
       which expire beginning in 2016. The Company's ability to utilize net
       operating loss carryforwards and tax credits is subject to limitations as
       set forth in applicable federal and state tax laws. As specified in the
       Internal Revenue Code, an ownership change of more than 50% by a
       combination of the Company's significant stockholders during any
       three-year period would result in certain limitations on the Company's
       ability to utilize its net operating loss and credit carryforwards. It is
       likely that such a change in ownership occurred in 1997 and 2000.
